Realities of club soccer, would you do something different?

Harvard variable 188 how the student does in comparison to the average SAT math score at their high school. Harvard variable 189 the student wants to study Humanities because Harvard needs more Humanities gurus to teach its engineers. (It was in the article). When there are only 2,000 to be admitted out of 40,000 applicants then Harvard must have 200 variables in its equation.

The reality is there won't be but a couple of students from Florida who will be applying to Harvard who need worry about its admittance procedures. People are closely following the case to see how long private and public universities can continue using holistic factors such as race, household income and zip code in their admittance process. I had an admissions officer tell me he knows if the kid or parent wrote the essay. I told him that he can not because often the kids are smarter writers than the parents. Also the students are taught the writing process from the time they are in elementary school. They are to have a friend peer edit the rough draft and then make the final draft look perfect. They are taught to look up big words to use in an online thesaurus. They are taught to use "their voices" in their writing. Even professional writers or professors at research universities will have their work edited by other professionals before publishing. Students have English paper tutors and those applying to Harvard have paid essay advisors or writers. The parents and kids want the admissions process to be fair but it is a good reality check that nothing is fair about the college admittance process or life.

Everyone has to have a story to get admitted like a deceased parent, immigrant or race story, some great hardship they have overcome, a mission trip, or a charity organization they have founded. What happened to working hard in school and having a high GPA and test scores, being a kid, and getting into a college where they can begin to find out who they are and change the world?

You're living in the past old timer. It doesn't work that way any longer for the top schools (I went to one and would never get in now). Wake up and wake your kid up, otherwise you'll be like UF dad, constantly lamenting about how unfair the process is.

Besides, now it's almost a requirement to go to grad school for many professions. So go to a good school - doesn't have to be GREAT - get great grades and go to a top grad school. Even better if that good but not great school gives you tons of money so that you can afford grad school (or can afford to take out loans without already being $100K in the hole).

Soccer is much more popular than LAX in the USA and internationally.

Yes that is true but participation in youth soccer is declining while it has almost tripled in less than a decade for LAX. Added bonus: no international competition for LAX spots. You folk bit*ching about how unfair it is that international soccer players take spots, have your kid play lax.

Or go two years to another college, local or community, and then apply to a Big Four to complete the major. UF is taking plenty of walk ins from the community colleges with 3.5 GPA and majoring in humanities or education.

It is more of a game to get into the Big Four as a freshman and it starts in 8th grade. Take the right college prep classes, don’t take too many electives or be a teacher’s aid because they will reduce the GPA. Some of it is how the dice are rolled. Going to an urban public school and being ranked 15th in the class will beat out a student with a higher GPA and test score of a student ranked 50th at a top large A rated public school.

Only the summer b, fall freshmen class counts towards statistics: gpa, test scores. diversity, and money. They track the graduation rate of the incoming freshmen class. Only elite winning freshmen get invited. Everyone else can come to the party late.

In women's socccer - USF hosts the War on I-4 in an all-out battle that will determine the regular season American Athletic Conference Champions. USF holds the advantage needing either a win or a tie to claim the title outright, and the home field advantage in The American tournament. The 7 p.m. match on Friday, Oct. 26, will also be USF’s senior night and alumni night.

Many local girls play on these two teams and this game has big implications for who get's to go to the NCAA big dance. Should be a great showcase of local talent.

Not doing as much travel club soccer so the kid could earn a 3.5 GPA and have 100% of tuition covered under the Bright Futures award. Have a shot at getting admitted to college.

You right especially for those students when High School starts at 7:30 and they need to meet the bus at 6:45. It is a big deal when practice ends at8:30 and travel time home is anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes home. That is why if the team has a horrible coach and players that don’t pass to anyone that is not a part of their inner circle that you walk away from the team and swallow the lose of money.
